MFT not in the MFT Reserved Space

A picture is worth a thousand words...

Is this normal ? All the Reserved MFT space is empty.

Hi there,

I've the same question and hopefully get an answer.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Aethec, I see you are on Win 7. In Vista the MFT is allocated in 200 mb blocks, which are not necessarily contiguous. I don't think there is such a thing as a MFT Zone. M/S says don't worry about the MFT being in two or more blocks. Maybe this is similar in Win 7?

(All this from memory, and it is late.....)

Zaphod_42, this is a 6-months old thread, you should create a new one...

What's your OS ? XP ? Vista ?

Augeas >> I was on XP when I had that problem. Now on Win7 everything is normal :huh:
